SUNDAY 21 JULY 5PM THE LEIGH SAWMILL CAFE | LITTLE LAPIN WITH THE MAP ROOM $10 DOOR

Fresh from releasing her debut EP this month, Little Lapin and her Auckland based band will be bringing their music to the Leigh Sawmill Café on Sunday 21st July and they will be joined by The Map Room who have also released their debut album this month.

In the last year, Little Lapin has independently released three songs and four music videos, recorded a six-track debut EP with New Zealand Producer Ben King and her vocals have featured on a theme tune for a prime time TV programme Agent Anna. That’s pretty good going for a girl who three years ago was too shy to sing in public. Originally from Plymouth, UK, she stumbled upon surf town Raglan, North Island NZ, whilst travelling back in 2009 and began crafting songs that were good enough for the stage and has never looked back. Little Lapin’s live band is Ben King on Electric Guitar (formerly of Goldenhorse, Grand Rapids), Callum Galloway on synth (Parachute Band, Jamie McDell) and drummer Andy Keegan.

Little Lapin’s latest single Yellow Brick Road featured on last month’s Kiwi Hit Disc as did The Map Room’s single All You’ll Ever Find. The Map Room is Simon Gooding and Brendon Morrow who combine their love for well-constructed pop songs and embellished instrumentation with themes of displacement and motion inspired in part by their travels through South America. Armed with a portable recorder and two old acoustic guitars purchased from an antique store in Buenos Aires, the pair set off on their odyssey and began writing and recording the first fragments of new songs. They are now joined on stage by two other musicians. The Map Room - http://www.themaproomband.com/
